You are here: Terrific-Horses.com > Horse Breeds > Hack Book Search: Hack Description The Hack can be found in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Hack is not bred intentionally and is almost always produced from Thoroughbreds although some have been produced from Anglo-Arabians. There were two types of Hacks in the 19th century the covert hack and the park hack. The covert hack was an attractive lightly built horse used to carry its rider to the meet or to the hunt in style. The covert hack was required to have elegance and smoothness in action while being well mannered and comfortable. The covert hack was not expected to carry its rider all day in saddle. The covert hack can neither be found in the show ring nor hunt today, as it no longer exists. The park hack was considered to be attractive and flawlessly proportioned. The highly fashionable socialites of London rode the park hacks in the park to show off themselves as well as their horses. The park hark was well mannered with light movement. The park hack relates with the modern Hack of today. The Hack stands on average between 14.2 and 15.3 hh and must have proportionate conformation, light and graceful, and almost perfect action. The trot must be low and floating and the canter smooth and slow. The Hack must have a quality head, light long neck, rounded hindquarters, with a near perfect body and line of the back. The Hack is shown at a walk, trot, and canter and keeping with British custom the judge must also ride the horse in a trouble free ride. The Hacks are shown in three classes for single Hacks: ladies hacks 14.2 to 15.3 hh on sidesaddle, small Hacks 14.2 to 15 hh and large Hacks 15 to 15.3 hh. The Hacks are also shown in classes for pairs. The Hacks have also been shown in South Africa and Australia. . Google Ads
